Playtech makes $25,000 donation to Barbuda’s ‘Project Home’ initiative

Gambling software development company Playtech has gone the extra mile—more than 3,900 miles to be exact—for residents of Antigua and Barbuda, who are still suffering from the havoc caused by Hurricane Irma.

Nigel Pigott, general manager of the Isle of Man-based gambling company, visited Antigua and Barbuda last week to personally hand over a check for $25,000 donation to Lady Sandra Williams at the Government House.

The money will go towards a Halo Foundation initiative, called “Project Home,” whose goal is to supply furniture and equipment in homes across Barbuda that have been destroyed in the wake of Hurricane Irma.

“It is our civic and moral duty to help each other as much as we reasonably can, especially when it comes to losses that affect so many aspects of livelihood,” Pigott said in a statement coursed through the Halo Foundation.
